10:16 AM PT — Multiple sources tell TMZ … Peterson’s son is currently on life support and hasn’t had brain activity since 5:30 PM last night.

We’re told the family is monitoring the situation closely, and if there is no improvement in 24 hours, the mother wants to remove life support and donate the boy’s organs to people in need. 

10:00 AM PT — Adrian Peterson’s father has confirmed … the injured boy is, in fact, Adrian’s son … but it’s NOT Adrian Peterson Jr.

The Pioneer Press spoke with Nelson Peterson … who says, “All I can say is, we are asking for prayers and for respect for our family as we deal with this tragic situation.”

8:41 AM PT — Multiple sources with direct knowledge of the situation tell TMZ … the injured child is Adrian’s son, but it’s not Adrian Peterson Jr., the child he’s been famously photographed with in public over the years.
